Losing the Battle at Home, Anti-Gay Activists ‘Spit Venom’ Overseas

In a groundbreaking new report titled The Export of Hate, HRC Foundation exposes some of the most vitriolic American activists promoting anti-LGBT bigotry abroad that shows that there is a network of American extremists who work tirelessly to undercut LGBT people around the world at every turn. They spew venomous rhetoric, outrageous theories, and discredited science. Some claim that LGBT people are responsible for the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the spread of HIV/AIDS. Others argue that LGBT people are luring away children, and that acceptance of gay and lesbian people will lead to the destruction of families around the world. Some even suggest that the death penalty could be an appropriate punishment for simply being LGBT.

Active in multiple nations across five continents, the individuals profiled in the report are only some of the Americans dedicated to this shared global mission. The report details their connections and associations, nations in which they’re active, publicly available information about their resources, and examples of their hateful rhetoric.
